Many political reform movements were launched in the last decade of the 19th century in Kashmir. These reform movements, in turn, gave rise to the desire for the achievement of a democratic political system in place of autocracy. The early socio-religious reform movements among the Hindus and the Muslims made an effective impact on the politics of the State of Jammu and Kashmir. These movements brought about socio-political awakening among the people. Political awakening leads to the awareness among the masses about their rights and the nature of relationship that exist between them. In a scenario where the relationship is oppressive and discriminatory, political awakening leads to movements for change of the structure. In this paper I will try to find out the factors responsible for the emergence of political consciousness in Kashmir during the period under study.
